the dead man and the alligator — for big tent poetry

This is a great form, and I’m so glad Deb introduced me to it (and thanks, of course, to its creator Marvin Bell). I didn’t manage its finer points (such as internal vs. external), but I enjoyed exploring the character of The Dead Man. I got the idea for pairing him up with an alligator when I tweeted about not having written a new poem since the alligators ate my last one.
